I love this place. It's my all-time favorite restaurant of anywhere. But after the hurricane they rebuilt it and the prices skyrocketed. Dinner is no longer affordable for most people. It's so we will try lunch. read more

The Turtle Club is hands down one of my favorite places in Naples. The food is consistently incredible! I honestly have never had a bad meal here. Everything is fresh and flavorful. They also take get care with food allergies! Sitting at your table with your toes in the sand while overlooking the beach is something special. There's genuinely no better lunch view in Naples. Every visit feels like a little escape, and it's one of those places you keep wanting to come back to. I've always wanted to experience dinner here too because I can only imagine how stunning it is at sunset. read more

we enjoyed all of the food we ordered. my favorite was the seafood salad croissant sandwich. i will dream about it. my daughter/we loved the kids coconut shrimp. the citrus mustard dip was magical. the turtle bread is definitely a treat. we got the orange cake for dessert and i think that it complimented all of the flavor profiles and was a nice and light (we all shared it). we also ordered/shared the fish tacos- definitely delicious :) loved sitting on the beach. very relaxing read more

The Turtle Club Restaurant delivered a fantastic dinner on Christmas Day. Our party of 7 was very happy with our food, drinks, and service. The butterfish was the best dish on the table. I ordered the triggerfish, which was good and a little different. A couple of us ordered the seafood medley, and while the lobster was overcooked on both plates, they still enjoyed the dish overall. The salads were great, and so was the turtle bread. I wouldn't recommend the calamari -- too much fried breading. The espresso martinis were excellent. Our waitress was attentive and a real sweetheart, helping to create a memorable holiday dinner. Overall, we thought that the Turtle Club Restaurant mostly delivered on the high price tag. It wasn't perfect but the experience was overwhelmingly positive. Give em a try! read more

A restaurant like the Turtle Club could sell out every table with the beautiful setting and not even bother with quality service and food. Luckily, they choose to provide not only a spectacular setting for your meal, but Service and food are both top-notch. A big thank you to our server Tanya who helped make our dinner a special evening. In regards to the meals, we started with an excellent ceviche, followed by the trigger fish, butter fish and carb cakes with frites. We had never had trigger fish or butter, fish, and found both delicious. The preparation and side dishes made for an excellent meal. A crabcake was a lighter choice but excellent prepared with crispy french fries, a nice side salad and very well well-made crabcakes. Having traveled to over 40 countries and had the opportunity to eat in many fine restaurants, the turtle club is definitely a stand out for both myself and my wife read more

Location, location, location! You can reserve a table inside or outside. We were outside, 5pm (sunset at 5:30) and were having our cocktails and wine while watching the sun set. Lots of choices for fine dining but fine dining on the beach touching the sun set...Just a few choices, really, and Turtle Club is a must experience when in Naples. Since I live here full time, I visit at least once a year but have not been since Hurricane Ian and found the venue, the remodeling, and surroundings perfect. I did not mind walking in sand to the table and was part of the experience of sitting outside. We sat as close to the beach as you could get. It's the ambiance, the service, and the experience that make Turtle Club unique and definitely Naples. Make reservations as far in advance as possible. I hope you enjoy as much as my friends and I did this past November 2025. read more

My brother was excited to go back to the turtle club for lunch on his visit . It's always lovely to sit on the beach and people watch in the beautiful surroundings Unfortunately the steak tip salad special was not that special. Just chopped up bits of steak , dry and and not enough salad dressing . Very underwhelming for the price . I hope they can pick up their game again because it such a great spot . The pina colada drink were delicious in a positive note read more

Just absolutely fantastic! We came here for date night on Saturday night. We had reservations at 5:45 for outside. They sat us right in the front, the closet table to the water! It was just lovely. Having the sand on your toes while you sit and eat wonderful food! We started off with the fresh oysters. Which were delicious. Then we ordered the wonton tuna tacos since I'm a fan of tuna and they were so crisp & flavorful. So many elements tied in together that just was like a flavor bomb in your mouth. We also got the ceviche which was so fresh and light. Also all out our apps came SO fast legit less than 3 minutes and the first oysters were out! Love that service! For mains I ordered the bisque since I was already quite full from all the apps we ordered! It was everything I wanted. So creamy and delicious. My husband got the triggerfish which we've never heard of but the waitress said it's a mild white local fish so we were intrigued. It's crispy on the outside and was so yummy, stuffed with goodness and the sauce omg was it good! This place is so fun! I'd highly recommend! They also have valet service which is so awesome, makes it super easy to come and dine-in! read more

Had a really terrific meal here last night. Sat outside on a beautiful evening. Service was so warm and friendly! Started out with their warm pretzel croissant rolls, which were delicious, paired with soft butter. Shared their unique Caesar salad, which has corn as their spin on the classic. Very good dressing and was extremely tasty. Also shared the Sea Harvest, which was a mix of lobster, shrimp and Mahi Mahi. Large portion and totally perfect! For dessert, they were nice enough to comp us one of the best key lime pies, I've ever had. More sweet than tangy, it was a perfect ending to an amazing dinner. We will return! read more

The Turtle Club is iconic! You just need to go! What could be better than eating on the sand and watching the sun go down? This place has been here since I was a little girl. The food is absolutely fabulous. The service is on spot. And the view well, you have to experience it at least once when coming down here. Anything on the menu is delicious... our favorite is the filet with grilled oysters. read more

My favorite restaurant in the Naples area. It's BEAUTIFUL. I recommend going for sunset and sitting outside - the view is incredible.

Blown away at how beautiful the ambiance is at The Turtle Club. We had the perfect timed seating for sunset and it was breathtaking. I was able to take my shoes off and have my feet in the sand. Jumbo lump crab cocktail came with a nice mustard sauce and cocktail sauce that complimented it perfectly. My husband and I both got the bistro frites, him with steak, me with lobster. We both thought it was really good and a nice unique dish on the menu. The crispiness/savoriness of the fries and the freshness/citrus of the arugula salad were so complimentary. The dessert was tasty and service was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bathroom was super clean and nice as well. Will definitely be back next visit read more

We drive to Naples twice a year for Dr visits and try to grab a waterfront lunch every time. Yesterday it was the turtle club at the Vanderbilt beach club. So glad we found this Oceanside gem!! Don't let the mid century motel vibe fool you (which we also loved!) this is a must go to! The vibe is casual / most of the outdoor tables are IN the sand but the menu is extensive with a gourmet twist and our food was fabulous! Wait staff also super friendly and kitchen turned our order quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at a casual pace and a beautiful location on gorgeous naple beach. My only caveat is, it's pricey for a lunch stop ($28 for terrain chick salad $33 for shrimp over risotto) but for this location, the small up charge vs other restaurants on the harbor or marina vs gulf is worth every penny! Be prepared for a short wait (25/20 minutes) which tells you how special this place is. read more

Such a beautiful and wonderful dinner experience with my fiancé while watching a great sunset at the beach at the Turtle club! Yes, reservations it's a must! We decided to wait until till the snow birds were gone to enjoy this place since we are locals and figured it might be less busy. We decided on making a reservation for outside on a Saturday at 8pm knowing that we wanted to make sure we got the sunset view and we weren't going to be going there during dinner rush hour/ traffic. Regardless this place is always busy. They have a decent amount of tables inside and outside. The parking situation-valet, some in the street but also there's a parking garage which is free if you have a beach pass which is what we did, t's a short walk, less than 5 minutes. We arrived early, knowing we would be willing to wait and walk around the beach however they were able to seat us early. Awesome! Our server Melinda was so friendly, helpful, she was very efficient, we were very impressed with the service she provided. For our drinks we went with the Lychee, Piña Colata martini, and Spicy Pineapple margarita all 3 were very delicious, they did not feel too sweet and had sufficient alcohol to not make you feel like it's a waste, we hate getting watered down drinks that are full of sugar and no alcohol. For our appetizer we decided to share their Turtle bread and Cream Lobster bisque, WOW. We normally don't care for bread but their pretzel bread and butter was unique and delicious. Their bisque was enough for both, very tasty, we would get both again! For my entree I went with the Sea Harvest, I don't even know where to start.. shrimp, mahi mahi was the fish, lobster, scallop with their jasmine rice and oyster turtlefeller and asparagus was to die for.. I couldn't finish it all and took some home for lunch the next day, it still was just as good. I would 100% get this again! My fiancé got the Miso Marinated butterfish and I got to try some, it truly melts in your mouth.. we couldn't have been happier with our choices. This time we decided on no dessert, but will consider it for the future for sure. It's pricey for sure but well worth it, not only do you get delicious food but also a beautiful view of what FL has to offer. We will definitely come back! read more

The View from Nowhere The sun sets beautifully here. I'll give them that. That golden moment when the horizon kisses the Gulf, when the sky pulls its curtain of fire and indigo over the sea. It's the kind of view that draws people in, hoping to match the beauty of the outside with something resembling warmth on the inside. But beauty, like hospitality, should go deeper than surface level. From the moment my foot crossed the threshold of the Turtle Club, I felt it. That subtle static in the air. Not just indifference, but something colder. More practiced. The kind of quiet, polite rejection that doesn't need to speak its name because it's been doing the rounds here for years. The hostess, impossibly young, blinked at me like I was a language she hadn't studied. Asked the same question twice, as if I didn't understand her. Or worse, as if she didn't understand me. She sat us near the entrance, just shy of the restroom. The kind of table you give people you're hoping won't stay long. We noticed a window seat open. My companion asked politely if we could move. "It's reserved," she said, with the kind of certainty that doesn't leave room for doubt. But not long after, a different party walked in. Notably different. Not in attitude, but in complexion. And suddenly, that very table became available. It's subtle. That kind of thing. You have to be paying attention. But I always do. The food? Passable. The kind of mid-tier coastal fare dressed up with butter and false promises. There was a butterfish worth a mention. Delicate, well-cooked. But I've never had a dish whose flavor curdled so quickly under the weight of the room around it. We asked, maybe naively, if we could move outside. There were open tables, after all. The manager said he'd check. I didn't believe him. I had already seen him smiling, hand on the shoulder, leaning in close at all the right tables. Tables that didn't look like ours. He never stopped at ours. Never looked in our direction. It wasn't overt. It rarely is. This wasn't burning crosses or slurs. It was something quieter. More insidious. The practiced exclusion of people who don't fit the postcard. Not racism, not exactly. But prejudice? Judgment? The sharp-edged ignorance that cuts in silence? Without a doubt. And that's the thing about restaurants. They aren't just about food. They're about feeling. About being seen, welcomed, included. About being told, without saying it, that you belong here. At Turtle Club, we weren't. And no sunset view can make up for that. read more

Turtle Club Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Naples, Florida

My wife and I don't usually go out of our way for seafood--but after our evening here, we might be rethinking everything. This restaurant is more than a place to eat; it's a full-on experience. We dined outside and were treated to a truly breathtaking view--perfectly serene and romantic, especially as the sun began to set. The atmosphere alone was worth the visit, but the food? Next-level. I ordered the triggerfish, and I genuinely can't stop thinking about it. It was perfectly cooked, buttery soft, and melted in my mouth like nothing I've ever had before. Every bite was a revelation. We also started with the carpaccio, which was equally stunning--fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. A must-try. Now, my wife isn't a seafood person at all, so she went with the filet mignon, and let me tell you--she didn't need a steak knife. It was so tender you could cut it with a fork, and it was cooked to perfection. She kept saying it might be the best steak she's ever had. Our servers name was Hector, he was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the pacing of the meal gave us time to enjoy the setting and each other. Truly 10 out of 10 experience. If you're skeptical about seafood--or even if you're not--this place might just change your mind. It certainly changed ours. 5 stars. Can't wait to come back. read more

We enjoyed a beautiful evening at The Turtle Club. It really doesn't get better than sitting on the sand, watching the sunset on the Gulf of America. Our server was excellent.

Wanted a beachfront dining experience to celebrate my birthday while in town and was excited to finally get in at Turtle Club! Been looking for online reservations for outdoor seating for months...it's VERY difficult to get in here! Disappointed that I didn't get the sunset time slot at 5:45 but was glad to get in at all. You have to check in advance for dinner reservations and hope to find something. Husband called morning of to tell the reservation employee Joyce that we were celebrating my birthday to which she said noted and the server would be made aware. More on this in a bit. The beginning of dinner felt very rushed, like they wanted you in and out quick. The drinks and appetizers arrived almost at the same time, so no time to sip and enjoy. The meal took a bit longer, thankfully, so we had time to enjoy. We were seated at a table with a few chairs, so it was a bit awkward with the two of us and all the empty seats. It's too bad they don't have seating outdoors for two. Drinks were great! Miami vice was good flavor. Husband had the s'mores old fashioned for dessert and said it was excellent. Drinks are on the expensive side here averaging about $20 per cocktail (typical for Naples area though). Food was excellent! Pretzel bread is like croissants but with pretzel taste. The butter they are served with is excellent, addicting to say the least. You'll want to eat every last drop! Bistro frites (filet with shoestring fries) were amazing! Only complaint was the steak was cold when it arrived even though it was cooked to my preference of well done. The fries are so delicious, soaked in butter and garlic. You will eat the entire plate even if you're full because they are THAT good! Husband said the sea harvest was excellent! Finally came time for dessert and my husband asked if they did anything special for birthdays. Waiter said yes then walked away... he returned with a complimentary key lime pie slice with a candle. He sang happy birthday to me which was nice! My only complaint here would be that my husband called earlier in the day to note this and felt like we shouldn't have had to bring this up to the waiter. Took away from the dinner being special. We also heard other waiters asking their guests if they were celebrating anything special upon being seated. For being a fancy restaurant, we expected better for a birthday celebration. There is valet parking (complimentary). Dress code is noted as beach casual, but everyone was dressed very nice in cocktail dresses and button down shirts and pants. You will feel out of place if you aren't semi dressed up. Note with outdoor reservations you may end up being seated in the sand, so be mindful about your shoes. read more

@turtleclubnaples rounds out our top 3 dining experiences in Naples. Dinner, beachside, toes in the sand watching the sunset is the ultimate ambiance. The food was fantastic.

This is a must visit! read more

This place has been a staple when I visit Naples for decades. It is located in a hotel and has beachfront dining which is the most perfect place to catch a sunset. The drinks are good - although I usually opt for a sunset wine because nothing quite hits like a cold glass of wine on the sand at dusk. I also love the oysters Rockefeller and Ceasar salad. If you are in the area, even if you are not a guest at the hotel, you can enjoy a meal here. read more

Made a reservation for outdoor dining only to find out, after I confirmed, they DO NOT allow dogs as stated by YELP!

We came here while in town on vacation to a special date night. The food was amazing! Had the chowder, ahi tacos, then Triggerfish and Halibut special. A fantastic evening. The only downside is as the construction and moving sand late into the evening. We were told it would only continue a few more nights. I came here years ago with my grandparents and it's always a special spot for me. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Turtle Club, and overall, it was a delightful experience! The ambiance is charming, with a lovely coastal theme that perfectly complements the beachfront location. The menu offers a fantastic selection of seafood, and I highly recommend the almond crusted halibut. One piece of advice for future diners: if you're planning to visit in the evening, definitely opt for indoor seating. The outdoor area, while picturesque, can be a bit buggy at night, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the meal. The indoor space is just as inviting and provides a cozy atmosphere without the distraction of pesky insects. The service was attentive and friendly, making our evening even more enjoyable. I can't wait to return to The Turtle Club for another wonderful meal, just remember to sit inside after sunset! Ps. I lost all my food photos... read more

Overall one of the best dining experiences I've had. It took us a few weeks to get reservations, and I understand why. I would suggest getting there about an hour before sunset so you're wrapping up around the time the bugs start coming out (about 20-30 minutes after sunset). The butterfish was also unbelievable read more

Everything about our evening was incredible. The food was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Sitting right on the beach as the sun set made it feel like a dream. The view alone is worth the visit. But what truly made the night special was our waitress, Julie. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She struck the perfect balance of being available without ever hovering, and her recommendations were spot-on. It felt like she genuinely cared about our experience. Sunset, great food, and next-level service -- what more could you ask for? Can't wait to come back. read more

This is my favorite place in SWFL to order a drink, eat some fresh seafood, and put my toes in the sand. The service is quick and the food and drinks are great. It's not a chain restaurant, so you're not getting warmed up frozen food like a lot of on the beach restaurants. There is a waitlist to enjoy dinner at sunset. Which is an amazing experience. But we also really enjoy going as soon as they open and enjoy a brunch! This building has a lot of history in Naples. It is a must stop if visiting the gulf coast! read more
